Managing Employee Transitions through Turbulent Times

Employees and the organizations require new capabilities to manage turbulent transitions and remain competitive. The workshop will present case studies designed to demonstrate approaches to managing people centric transition. We will address strategic initiatives and demonstrate how to improve an organizations’ ability to manage and the employee’s capacity to navigate new work requirements.

Session A: “Onboarding an Acquisition: Enabling Successful Integration”

A leading consumer travel company’s use of its recognition platform as a key enabler of its post-merger integration emphasizes new skills development, behaviors for a new firm and continued excellence in customer service.

Stephanie Merchiore, Director, Employee Recognition, Delta Airlines, Inc.

Session B: “Building a Competitive Advantage at the Customer Interface”

A leading in professional services firm recognized the need to upgrade levels of customer service at the front line to meet and surpass organizational objectives. It recognized a changing business environment and a need to transition to higher level relationships with customers to be a meaningful contributor to the business.

Sharon Franklin, Managing Director, PwC

Session C: “Promoting Strategy Execution: Creating a Culture of Innovation”

Moving the culture of a global company can be daunting, but by assessing the processes, emphasizing teaming and collaboration as well as shifting organizational mindset via recognition programs, training and strategic communications the company transitioned to a culture where innovation and the creation of new value is a priority.

Karen Sachs, Business HR and Communications Leader, Cargill, Inc.
